Portis, Sellers, Rogers return

Three of the five starters — running back Clinton Portis, fullback Mike Sellers and cornerback Carlos Rogers — who were absent for Monday’s start of June’s organized team activities were back today.

It was the first of the five OTAs so far that Sellers, who also skipped the offseason conditioning program at Redskin Park, had attended. Portis, who must not like Mondays, was back after also missing the Monday session during the May 4-7 OTAs. Rogers had been battling the flu on Monday. So was rookie cornerback Kevin Barnes, who also returned today.
